the wish's work

reflecting hope, plan or scheme
personal agenda, powerful dream

taking thought, clarify every intent
the wish's work, way to implement

longing to shower soul with affection
belonging discovered perfects direction

as water held by a dam has potential
gifts of the heart come like rain torrential

Gifts Worth Celebrating

"Presents I don't know what is in you, Presents you're just a big surprise" ~my son. He sang this out during Christmas when he was about 6 years old. It has become a part of our seasonal tradition. The mystery of gifts.

Because all we have truly is one another.

This season and every day we must...

Celebrate your gifts

…joy that challenges every sorrow,

…acceptance dispelling complaints,

…hospitality comforting the wandering,

…kindness rising above cruelty,

…reliability conquering procrastination,

…tolerance deposing snobbishness,

…upbeat chasing away pessimism,

…honesty over deceit,

…flexibility beyond compulsion,

…freedom subverts domination,

…contentment soaring past jealousy,

…imagination free from forgetfulness

…witty laughter over humorless silence

…forgiveness healing inner hurts

…loving gentleness trumping intolerance
